Among them are siblings Trish and Tommy Jarvis, who live in a house next door with their mother. As the teens enjoy their time, Jason resumes his killing spree, targeting anyone that crosses his path.

With the help of Rob Dier, whose sister was murdered by Jason, they try to survive and find a way to stop the relentless killer. The cat-and-mouse game between Jason and his potential victims escalates into a tense and desperate battle, culminating in a chilling confrontation.
